Brett McLean got what kind of money???

$1.7 million a year for Brett McLean? Hey, he was a nice guy to cover, and did some nice things here and all, but this league is officially starting to go off its rocker again if he’s pulling that kind of money.

This is a guy that the Avs put on waiversbefore the start of the 2005-06 season. He didn’t do much the first half of this year, then gets some points playing on a line with Stastny and Hejduk. And look what it gets him. Is this a great country or what?

I keep thinking Smittie is going to be an Av, but there’s a lot of interest in him around the league.
